Jurickson Profar suspended for PEDs?
 

Rumor has it that Profar got busted for PEDs. No bueno. The good news is that the Braves can't get any worse right now. :D We suck real good.

At least his late career resurgence makes sense now.

last season makes a lot more sense now. They should've tested Tatis Jr. before releasing the report so he wouldn't have time to flush his system

I’m assuming the Braves had a heads up about this, and that’s why they signed Verdugo.

looks like the padres got rid of him at the right time

He released a statement. Doesn't make any excuses, other than the "I'd never knowingly take a banned substance." So he must have started a new supplement this off season. He's not fighting it.

He did mentioned he tested clean 8 times last season.

Based on his testing results, he's about 8 weeks pregnant...

Yeah, because he was masking his use with HCG.

These guys always come out with the worst statements.

Former teammate of Tatis.

"I never knowing took PEDs. Having a career year at age 31, then getting busted soon after was just a coincidence" - Profar

Yes, he started taking a new supplement called Trenbolone

I guarantee at least 75% of the league is on some sort of PEDs. Tests are easy to beat unless you're a moron.

Maybe he should have asked his former teammate Fernando Tatis how to issue a terrible statement. If you think this one is bad.

If he was masking with HCG last season, why wasn't he caught?

Back to being irrelevant very soon, lol. Just like his trash teammate, Ringworm Tatis, Profar is such a clown.

Do you guys really believe a PED makes you go from being bad-league average to all-star level?

Like, we are all educated adults right?

Most likely he's been using stuff his entire career and this is the first time he got caught.

So he was using PEDs the whole time and they only worked in 2024?

He hit 24 HR last year. He's hit 20 HR two other years. He's pretty much a 15-20 HR guy when he gets 600 AB. WAR was better last year for the nerds but he probably had a 20% better season then average last year. It's not like some Brady Anderson situation.

Most simple explanation would be that this failed test occurred at an unfortunate period of his doping cycle. Alternative explanations for why he’d finally have a detectable HCG level include errors in his dosing, inadequate hydration, and a new regimen.

Right after signing for big money, 3 yrs 42 million

He had a 139 wRC+ and up to that point he had a career wRC+ of about 95. If you look, he had the highest BABIP of his career. You all can think whatever you want about PED theories, I think he just was lucky last year more than anything.

If adults think a PED makes him go from being a below league average hitter to one of the best in the game, or if adults think he was always on PEDs and they finally worked after all these years, I got lots of beachfront property in Nebraska to sell all of you.

Right, that's what I'm saying. The year he had last year was certainly in the realm of reasonable outcomes based on his entire career. And he has probably been on PEDs his entire career like most guys and he just messed up and got caught.

There was a significant increase in his exit velocity in 2024 compared to previous years and by far his best year in terms of hard contact rate. There's not enough data to compare for bat speed, but 2023 and 2024 were similar. Barrel rate was significantly higher.

2024 was also only his second season where he played more than 150 games or had more than 600 PA. Sounds like a guy that was finally healthy and was seeing the ball very well. Seems more like an adjustment to the swing than an adjustment to the supplements.

Lmaoooo

Has anyone checked to see if he was using Torpedo bat last year?

[QUOTE=KhalDrogo;19862789]Yeah, because he was masking his use with HCG.

The reason a man would use HCG is to stay fertile if they were trying to have children while using other steroids that shut your testes down. Guys don't usually take just HCG. It is very commonly prescribed along with testosterone for TRT which it's possible he was doing through a doctor. But guys also use it when they are on all kinds of other steroids. And it's only injectable as far as I know so it's hard to believe he didn't know what he was taking. I wouldn't inject anything into myself or let anyone else inject something without knowing what it was.

3yrs/$42M guaranteed with PED suspension? If so still a genius move, he’ll still collect $35M.
Crazy

Now is better time than ever to mention - I need a 2013 Topps SP Jurickson Profar #286B where he is wearing the blue uniform, it is part of my Rangers topps collection, if anyone has this please contact me, thanks!

Positive for nandrolone.

Now down another 15 million. Maybe he can go for strike 3 and just collect about 6 million from half his season last year.

It didn’t work for ManRam or A-Rod. Why, Jurickson, did you think you could get away with it?

I hated this signing from the start. Now a pretty clear example of a mediocre player roiding in a contract year.

[QUOTE=BoSoxFan1999;20194462]What an idiot.[/QUOTE]

This is correct. Moron.

I guess this negates the spring training spike on his cards?

[QUOTE=Triple B;20194610]I guess this negates the spring training spike on his cards?[/QUOTE]

it isn't 2012

His defense is likely going to be that nandrolone stays in the system for 6 months (more?) and testing occurred during the same window.

I mean; some people just don't get it...[I]after the first, whack[/I]...!?!

[IMG]https://media.tenor.com/MS6PhoueaqoAAAAM/fml-sylvester.gif[/IMG]

Sadly,...he isn't the first, and certainly won't be the last.

is there anything they can do to nullify his contract or get some of the money back?

Welp…there goes my retirement. I was heavily invested in his cards said no one ever

Eh I’m pretty sure he was a pretty big deal circa 2012-2013.

I always smirk when I come across this card, but I actually spent an even $100 on a 2011 Bowman chrome 1st ref auto (BGS 9.5/10) at the Chantilly show in very early 2012.

I went with $300 in my pocket, and I came home with this card and two boxes of 2011 Bowman Chrome (Harper chasing)

Since they were stupid enough to let Ozuna walk because they thought Profar was the answer at DH , The Braves need to take that money throw some pitching prospects together along with Harris or Ozzie and go get Dominguez from the Yankees. Since they don't seem to think he's good enough to play everyday.

Someone has serious TDS. Is he irrelevant as well, LOL.

Just let the players take all the Juice and Peptides they want as far as i'm concerned. I love steroids.
